it's like 90/10 republican. but both sides are bad, amirite?

I didn't realize the latest numbers were out. What was the raw data?

It is peculiar that Republicans have appointed minorities to the highest non-elected position in the country. I'm sure it's part of a "Some of my best friends are black" defense, but they seem really committed to it.

Your own party leaders are saying it. Do you think Wilkerson and Powell are lying?

I mean I could understand your out of hand dismissal of the blatantly obvious if it was Olberman or Kos pointing it out to you. But when your own party leaders are admitting "Yep, the GOP is full of racists," why do you continue to deny it?

Not all Republicans are racists. But almost all racists are Republicans. But come on, bring up Robert Byrd. You know you want to. Bring up those old tired lines about what people thought 40 years ago and have refuted them, while ignoring the fact that just this week Sarah Palin made blatantly racist statements.

If you're black, gay, a woman, or make less than a few million dollars per year, the Republicans hate you, and wouldn't mind it if you had as many rights as the average slave off the boat in the 1800s.

Yep. And if I were to go up to my estranged Father and tell him that the only reason he's voting for Romney is because he's white...

Can everyone just shut the fark up? Peas? And carrots too?

/miss my family, but I'm 'doing the devil's work by voting with my vagina'; so, I don't know that I'll ever speak with them again after this...//fark you Fox, Limbaugh, Beck, Tea Party, etc for ruining what used to be a decent family. Now I have no one.///5th beer today, sorry

In before somebody starts crying about "broad brushes" painting the entire party as racists (not racist, just number one with racists) while simultaneously refusing to differentiate themselves from the racists.

You can't really "hate" property. We're property to them. A means to their ultimate end.

Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable.

Impossible. It is you, Larry, who is a racist for saying that other people are racists.

I'm going to jump out on a limb here, and speculate that you're talking about Clarence Thomas. Two words my friend, Thurgood Marshall.

So blacks that have been voting for whites for decades (if they were allowed to vote at all) because of institutional, cultural, legal, and economic oppression are the racists?

As the song goes.

"Well if you told me you were drowningI would not lend a handI've seen your face before, my friendBut I don't know if you know who I am?Well I was there and I saw what you didI saw it with my own two eyesSo you can wipe off that grinKnow where you've beenIt's all been a pack of lies"

I don't think this is necessarily true. If it were true, Blacks would be more split in other Presidential races. The truth is African-Americans tend to vote Democratic instead of along racial lines. Otherwise Herman Cain would have had a lot more support from Black folk.

They did the same thing in 2008. Sarah Palin and Michael Steele were part of their great "WE GOT ONE TOO" strategy.

"Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable." Wilkerson then went on to say, "Ehhh, but whaddya gonna do about it anyway, we'll take whatever votes we can get."

You know, I've seen many of your posts here, and I find them sane and rational. But I would like you to examine the quoted text and see if you can spot the dog whistle. It's there and it's telling.
